For anyone who loves autumn, this is for you. Pumpkin season is here, and to make the most of your Jack-O-Lanterns, here are a few tips that will give you the best results.  1. First, you need to plan. This means you’ll need to know what you want to carve in your pumpkins, how many you want, and what you’ll be using them for. Keep in mind that using a tiny little pumpkin may be great for accenting areas around the house, but may not be appropriate to dress your Thanksgiving dinner table as the centerpiece. So before you make your way to the pumpkin patch, have a good idea of what you’re looking for, and make a list. |

Breast Cancer Awareness Month |
October is dedicated to breast cancer awareness, and we’d like to inspire you with thoughts of pink. While you might be right in thinking how can crafts be an inspiration to breast cancer, make it your mission this month to increase awareness about this disease that will plague approximately 22, 300 women in Canada this year. While breast cancer may not be diagnosed for many of us, it touches all of us.
In dedication of these women, our mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces, wives, grandmothers, aunts, and girl friends, send out cards, in pink of course, and add a breast self examination insert. You can print out a PDF version from the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. |

Paper Folder versus a Bone Folder |
One of my greatest passions is creating cards. It allows me to create something that is visually artistic, and also gives me the opportunity to express feelings in the written word. It’s the perfect marriage of the two, culminating in the form of a greeting card.
